VP Racing Fuels Pro Doorslammer eliminations round 3

Micke Nord 6.2000/187.28 bye, Freddy Fagerström no show

Freddy out with engine damage. Micke to sixty in 1.0079, something looked to come off the car about 300 feet out, very small whatever it was, 3.9683/183.37 at the eighth then off it at 1000 feet and chutes out.

Mattias Wulcan 5.7761/254.70 def. Jan Ericsson 5.9390/241.59

Fantastic race! Jan with a 0.0083 RT Tree'd Mattias' 0.1101, Mattias with the better sixty 0.9426 to 0.9912 but Jan was visibly ahead at that point. No shake to speak of. They looked side by side at the eighth, Jan there in 3.9080/192.04 to Mattias' 3.8454/198.43, Mattias just pulled out the lead in the second half taking it by 0.0611.

Andreas Sjödin 6.1725/232.67 def. Chris Isaacs 7.3383/124.79

Eurodragster.com sponsor Chris visibly moved first 0.1534 to 0.2612, Andreas with the better sixty 0.9934 to Chris' 1.0989. Looked from here as if Chris was driving through shake from the Tree to about 300 feet, Andreas to the eighth in 4.0761/183.16, Chris there in 4.3348/166.53 then off the gas and chutes out, Andreas took the stripe by 0.1580. We later got word from co-owner Spencer Tramm that Chris slowed because the engine had rodded.

Chris Orthodoxou 8.5488/160.74 def. Charlie Ostedt no time DQ

Charlie straight into full stage, up on the revs as Chris went in and then left lighting the big red. Seems to me that Chris saw the red as he took it relatively easy, 1.3635 to sixty, 5.5331/131.33 at the eighth, went through the gears.

John Tebenham followed with a licencing pass in his Pro Mod, this one scheduled for a full pull. Again a visibly (relatively) gentle launch, 1.1812 to sixty then the engine note picked up. 4.4362/177.83 at the eighth, looking good for the licence I'd say.

Turbo Technics Pro Street eliminations round 1

Chris Goodale in as an alternate for Ian Cleminshaw. Huge speed for Andy Bond, PB I believe - if so then well done Andy and team! Then a long hold for rain, those irritating spits and spots which are enough to stop racing and which take their sweet time to go away.

VP Racing Fuels Pro Doorslammer eliminations round 2

Micke Nord no time def. Jimmy Ålund 7.3836/121.84 DQ

Micke up on the revs before Jimmy pre-staged, then back off, back up on the revs and the blower plate blew. That was his race done, so we thought, but a red in Jimmy's lane. 0.9623 to sixty, a move to the right just before the eighth and off the gas 4.0203/150.58. Clean-up called in Jimmy's lane. Car owner Magnus not convinced about the redlight I think, currently talking to race officials.

Jan Ericsson 5.8922/151.54 def. Andres Arnover 16.6671/60.38

No reverse for Andres after his burnout, pushed back to the start line then on te green idled it down the track. Jan to sixty in 0.9895, a move to the right at 300 feet but no question of getting off the gas. Storming eighth 3.8782/194.27.

Mattias Wulcan 5.8387/215.88 def. Micke Gullqvist 11.1373/75.65

Mattias moved first 0.0673 to 0.1552, the better sixty 0.9338 to 0.9912, Micke then hit shake and the Camaro started to move left, got off the gas and left Mattias to get on with it. 3.8275/199.40 at the eighth for Mattias, off the gas and chutes out passing 1000 feet. Spotters checked the track.

Charlie Ostedt 8.4668/121.52 bye, Lenn Lindell no show

No Lenn, no word why. Hard left for Charlie in the burnout but kept a hold of it. 1.1735 to sixty, blackstriped and then shut off before the eighth 4.9721/128.78.

Andreas Sjödin 6.3551/195.56 def. John Sleath no time broke

John visibly Tree'd Andreas 0.1701 to 0.3481, Andreas to sixty in 0.9972 to John's 1.2731, John shut it off about 200 feet out. Andreas to the eighth in 4.0915/183.46 then shut it off and put out the chutes.

Chris Orthodoxou 6.2295/220.04 def. Andy Wright Jr 6.6981/229.31

Andy visibly moved first 0.0707 to Chris' 0.2358, Andy's tyres started to turn passing the Tree, 1.1248 so sixty to Chris' 1.0064, a bit of shake for Andy and a pedal allowing Chris to take a visible lead. Chris to the eighth in 4.0454/179.54, Andy in 4.5214/177.61. New PBs for Chris, well done Chris and team!

Freddy Fagerström no time bye, Caroline Strand no show

No sign of Caroline. Short burnout for Freddy then edged out of stage without the Tree running, the revs very low on launch. I would imagine that in Caroline's absence Freddy goes through despite not taking a green... but word from race officials is that there will be a re-run so that Freddy can formally take a green.

Chris Isaacs 6.6551/223.65 def. Paula Atkin 7.3693/167.34

Eurodragster.com sponsor Chris visibly went first 0.1236 to 0.4691, 1.1747 to sixty for Chris with some shake as he got to the Tree, Paula to sixty in 1.4131. Chris' Duster made a move right but Chris had it covered, a couple of puffs of smoke from the pipes passing the eighth and it sounded like a couple of pedals in the second half. Smoke from Paula's motor in the shutdown area, safety crews went for a look and track checked.

John Tebenham followed with a licencing pass in his Pro Mod. Great burnout again, then 1.1472 to sixty, power came in about 200 feet out and sounded like the tyres started to turn, engine note went up and didn't hear the next gear shift, shut it off, 9.7059/94.30.

On hold for a scrape of the start line.

13:05

Webster Race Engineering 4 Cylinder eliminations round 1

Ardnt Putzmann a no-show for his race with Ian Clark. James Wootton a no-show for his race with Donald Harvey. Smoke from Dominik Schleiper's Karmann in the second half, clean-up called. Phil West a no-show for his race with Dave Swift. Boba Kettler a no-show for his race with Anthony Ponce. Pete Shattock a no-show for his race with Steve Guirey.

OCS Group Big Bracket eliminations round 1

Doesn't matter in a bye run but Ronnie Mercer's breakout in the first run of the session equated to the track being 1.32 inches too short for him. Perfect 9.5806 on 9.58 dial-in for James Oliver in his race with a red-lighting Pete Youhill, well done Olly! Billy Gane +0.0057 on dial-in in his race with David Smith. Perfect 0.0003 RT for Guy King in his race with Mark Bailery, well done Guy! Ryan Garrett +0.0044 on dial-in in his session-closing bye.

Eibach Front Wheel Drive eliminations round 1

Dean Bottriell a no show for his race with Nicolas Hackiere. Huge cloud of smoke from Christoph Marie-Francoise's motor at 1000 feet, the car had only just become visible through the cloud of diesel. Track checked and all OK. Fantastic run for Wendall Brand in the Honda, a 9.0 last time out with a misfire and knocked that out of the park. New PBs for Jacob Bailey and a big holeshot win, well done Jacob! Carl Goldsmith with a thrash last night after an electrical fire on yesterday's pass.

OCS Group Big Bracket Test and Tune

This is by race number not run order.

Looks like a rear axle failure for Steve Unsworth in the Mustang, motor zinged and both rear wheels collapsed at the hit, shards of metal on the track. Steve quite unhurt of course, alas the car is in rather more distress. Guy King's Chevelle threw a pipe, exhaust I am guessing, about 300 feet out and it rolled most of the way down the track before being retrieved by a spotter. perfect and then some 0.0000 RT for Dave Smith, well done Dave!

Good morning from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the Doorslammers brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

It's a beautiful day here. It was very misty first thing but the mist has cleared and we have a blue sky with sun and high cloud, hardly any breeze, we're going to bake.

Today's plan is to bring you reports and results, plus Simon is back to bring you more pit notes, and of course Kirstie, Julian and DD are out there photographing for the end-day gallery.

No webcast from us today, Santa Pod Raceway are streaming the event on YouTube Live (Santa Pod TV) and Facebook (Santa Pod Raceway); you can find a link to the YouTube on the Event Index. Please note that the YouTube page will not, of course, show the live broadcast until it commences so just keep hitting Refresh. In the same way that we would not expect Santa Pod to entertain queries or comments about our own webcasts, we won't respond to queries or comments about SPR's webcast.

Whilst we're here, again a big Thank You to Bonnie Wallace for the cakes, all of which we ate before Simon could get back today, to Carl Goldsmith for the offer and loan of a contingency laptop, and to David, Kieran, Adam and James of SPRC's timing crew for the qualifying standings and pairings.

The traditional Raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondent Kathy Hileman in New Hampshire, hope you are having a good morning Kathy. A big Good Morning also to the Eurodragsterholics, especially Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto in Vehkataipale, Finland, and Ivar Kolberg who is tuned in from Norway.

We are due to start at 09:30 with the OCS Group Big Bracket test session. There is a lot to pack in today and we will do out best to bring it to you quickly. In the meantime you could do worse than to check out yesterday's gallery via the Event Index, and keep an ear on things via Nitro FM, also via the Event Index.
